Organic baby fruit purée is a handy snack, dessert or option for when you’re out and about with your baby. But fruit jars, pouches and fruit purées can vary considerably in their age recommendations, ingredients, allergens and portion sizes. A low price or an appealing flavour alone won’t tell you whether a product is suitable.
This buying guide explains what parents and carers in the UK should look out for, and which products may suit different situations.
Fruit naturally contains sugar, so a fruit purée with no added sugar can still have a relatively high sugar content. The ingredients list is key: does it contain just fruit, or also sugar, syrup, sweetened juices or fruit juice concentrate?
For products labelled ‘no added sugar’, also look for the note that they contain naturally occurring sugars. The nutrition table is a useful objective guide, but it doesn’t replace checking the full ingredients list.
‘Organic’ describes how the ingredients are farmed in accordance with the relevant standards, but it doesn’t automatically mean a product is suitable for every age or for people with particular allergies. Organic fruit purée can also contain milk, cereals or other ingredients.
So check:
A baby food pouch is easy to carry and portion out. However, for dental care, it’s best to serve the purée with a spoon where possible and avoid prolonged or frequent sucking from the pouch. Several products’ manufacturer instructions warn against frequent contact between teeth and fruit purée.
Keep caps and packaging out of the reach of young children when unsupervised. Before opening, check that the pouch, lid or jar is undamaged.
The labels ‘from 4 months’, ‘from 5 months’, ‘from 6 months’ and ‘from 1 year’ aren’t interchangeable. A fruit purée for babies from 6 months may contain cereal, while a plain apple purée has a different composition and texture.
Pay particular attention to:
Introducing new foods should suit your child’s individual development. If you have questions about weaning, allergies or intolerances, advice from a healthcare professional or nutritionist may be helpful.
A high fruit content is something you can check, but it isn’t the only measure of quality. According to the product details, HiPP Squeeze Pouch Apple-Banana & Baby Biscuit contains 95% fruit and 5% biscuit. This means the recipe also contains wheat, whey and butter. The product details state that it may contain traces of egg and nuts.
A plain baby fruit jar, such as HiPP Organic Apple, contains 100% apples according to the product description. This may appeal to parents looking for a simple ingredients list or something to serve alongside cereal porridge.
If your child has a milk or cereal allergy, check the ingredients list for each individual flavour. Products from the same brand can differ considerably in their allergens.
Jars, pots and squeeze pouches each have their pros and cons:
The time a product can be kept after opening varies. Some products should be used within 24 hours, while others should be used within two or three days. Always follow the instructions on the packaging. Keep opened portions in the fridge if the manufacturer recommends it.

We’ve put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and fully comply with the safety regulations in force in the EU.
It depends on the specific product and its stated age recommendation. Products on the market are labelled as suitable from 4, 5, 6 or 10 months, as well as from 1 year. Always follow the packaging and take your child’s individual weaning stage into account. If you’re unsure, speak to a healthcare professional or nutritionist before introducing it.
No. ‘No added sugar’ means that no extra sugar has been added. Fruit still contains naturally occurring sugars. So compare the ingredients list and nutrition table. A high fruit content can affect the flavour and nutritional values, even when no extra table sugar has been added.
The recommended storage time after opening varies. Depending on the product, it may be 24 hours, two days or up to three days. Keep opened products sealed in the fridge, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Discard any leftovers once this period has passed.
